How to populate values to select fields in Editor form dataTables.net-editor@1.6.5??

Hi All,

I am using editor-1.6.5, with custom form layout.
Form Layout is:

<div className="container addAccountCustomFormLayout">
            <div className="row">
                <div className="col">
                    <editor-field name="account_number"></editor-field>
                    <editor-field name="account_owner_name"></editor-field>
                    <editor-field name="doing_business_as"></editor-field>
                    <editor-field name="current_year_status_id"></editor-field>
                    <editor-field name="street_address"></editor-field>
                    <editor-field name="city_town"></editor-field>
                    <editor-field name="zip_code"></editor-field>
                </div>
                <div className="col">
                    <editor-field name="client_id"></editor-field>
                    <editor-field name="client_property_id"></editor-field>
                    <editor-field name="state_id"></editor-field>
                    <editor-field name="county_id"></editor-field>
                    <editor-field name="cost_center"></editor-field>
                    <editor-field name="property_type_id"></editor-field>
                    <editor-field name="legal_description"></editor-field>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>

among these fields 'state_id', 'current_year_status_id', 'client_id', 'county_id', 'property_type_id', 'state_id' are select fields.

but If I like to edit a row in a table, these select fields not auto selecting the option of that value. why?? I am not getting. Those respective field column are in table but visibility set to false in table.

And on Change those field values are empty i.e. example-> state_id: [''] in POST/PATCH submit data. WHY??

I am building this code in a django and reactjs application.

Also some times editor form opens with all fields, and some other times form opens with empty body. WHY???

Very likely because the value that the field refers to isn't available in the list of options in the select list. I would need a link to a page showing the issue to be able to help debug it further than that.

That's not something I've seen before. Again I would need a link to a page showing the issue. Also I would suggest updating from 1.6.5 to 1.8.1 which is (at the time of writing) the current release.
